SPACEX

How did I miss this Event?
I dunno about the rest of you, but my mind is blown,
100 years from now capital cities will have monuments dedicated to Elon Musk
He will be part of subjects taught in Universities in the same way Thomas Edison and the likes are.

You have probably all seen this, somehow I had missed it!!!
My eldest son shown me this today, if you do nothing else....
Watch it all, but if you cant...
Watch the first bit,
Watch the launch
then skip to the 16 min mark
and pick your blown mind off the floor at about 22 mins.

Not only that but the rocket is carrying a Tesla roadster on a heading to Mars...

Ground control to Major Tom - we have LIFT OFF!Moment the World's most powerful space rocket fires a Tesla Roadster to MARS - while the car plays Bowie's Space Oddity on its stereo (for the benefit of the crash test dummy behind its wheel)

'Falcon Heavy' has finally blasted off from Cape Canaveral in a historic launch for Elon Musk's SpaceX

There was a second payload on board the SpaceX Falcon Heavy that launched Tuesday (Feb. 6), and (unlike the Tesla Roadster) it's built to last 14 billion years.

SpaceX confirmed during its pre-launch livestream that the gadget, called an Arch, is tucked away somewhere inside the red Tesla Roadster now floating through space. It's a simple-looking object: a clear, thick disk of quartz crystal, about an inch across, with lettering across its face. It could almost be a small business award — best car dealership maybe, or top pizza restaurant — except for the data etched microscopically into its body with powerful, high-frequency lasers.
